You keep saying that like it's a thing of magic, but it'll be the same shitty game with the same shitty lack of anything interesting to do.

My only point is that it is not the same game but up-resed, the visuals are being properly re-done and there will be gameplay changes, how good it'll be? No idea.
It's a very simple point, it's a remake not the same as the dolphin version, there has been no mention of magic nor even any inference of it.

Out of interest, do you actually like any games?
99% of your miserable posts are saying "x is shite, y is shite" .
For plenty of people WW is their favourite Zelda and they're looking forward to the WiiU version, You think it's shite, and you'll tell people over and over but no-one gives a fuck.

We've seen - what? - three, four static screens from WW HD? And as I understand it, no real info other than that it's being remade in HD with improved art and some tweaks?

Quite how you gaming internet experts can use that very thin amount of data to deduce that the game will be an an embarrassing flop of momunemtal proportions is quite breathtaking - well done, one and all!

Reading over the last few pages, it's strange how quickly the opinion has changed on how good Rayman will end up being. When it was an exclusive Wii U release it was going to be absolutely fantastic, the next big 'must have' title...
Now, not so much huh?
Personally I'm overjoyed, loved the last one and this one should be better again. Yeay!

Me for one. I said i'd probably wait for a bargain bin or buy it second hand if it comes up. I'd have bought it this month but i'll probably be distracted by other games by september so it may not seem that compelling.

@gooner77 didn't someone on here say it was a platform game?
Hope not, I needs the metroids!

Na, no-one knows.
They hired quite a few people recently, e.g.from Naughty Dog and Virgil, the ex Naughty Dog artist supposedly said the game was less realistic in style than Uncharted, whatever that means...

I can understand Zelda fans getting a bit excited but I can't comprehend it being a system-seller for anyone who played it on Gamecube.

I think they looked at the 3DS and realised the number one selling game for it is a tarted-up port, so figured that's the way to go. Minimal resources required, throw a couple of shaders at it, maybe throw in a generic dungeon somewhere to make it seem like it's brand new and worth the effort, done. Free tick on the "look at how many games the WiiU has!" list.

Nintendo games are the only thing that sells Nintendo consoles. That's why they're doing this quick n' dirty port. Wii U is struggling and they know that any of their two big franchises should do the trick. They've already milked Mario 64 for the DS and Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, and the regular Wii games are already backwards compatible and too fresh in the memory for them to re-release already. Mario Sunshine wasn't amazingly well received, so Wind Waker is about the only place they could go to.

I remember these same discussions with the 3DS. Some people still argue that things haven't changed. Yet I own nearly twice as many games for that than I do my 360. Whether or not you think the Wii U is a success or failure, at the minute, will come down to your gaming tastes. At the minute i've still got games to play and at least a few more on the horizon. That's ignoring the eShop, which has been the highlight of the 3DS.

So what you're saying, in a long-winded way, is that everything is subjective?

I remember when they released Mario All-Stars on the wii as the Mario anniversary tribute and they just slapped the SNES ROM onto a disc and charged £40. And people think WW will have extra content? Bwah ha ha ha!

WInd Waker isn't even that great. It seems to have gradually grown into being talked about as this classic Zelda game which people say is the best in series, when at the time, and for years afterwards it was considered an abomination. Don't get me wrong, it has it's moments. The dungeons were great, but all that sea faring bullshit pfft...deeply flawed.
